    We had small garlic the first year because we planted them in the spring. You need to plant them in October, apparently they love a good frost.

    We had very small garlic first year. We found out the best time to plant is October because they love a frost. Last year we had much more success with lots of good size bulbs.

    I buy garlic from a garden centre that is bred to be grown in this country. I tried planting some from the supermarket and had no success.

    If it goes to seed it will still be ok- unlike onion or leeks. You may get a little row of mini garlics growing a few inches up the stalk though.

    Lucie, hi
    I have only grown garlic the once, last winter, but I believe the 'pointy' end is at the top. Mike.

    I grew garlic in 6" pots once and they were fantastic, but a pain because I had to water them so often. This year  I have set them in between my shallots and onions. A much better place to grow them. I hope to have large perfectly formed bulbs of garlic in September!

    Last year some of my garlic formed one big bulb rather than cloves - why was this?
